Wewoka Community Exhibit

Once a slumbering settlement by a quiet tributary of the
Canadian River, the community of Wewoka came to be one of the most storied in
Oklahoma history. Visitors to the
Seminole Nation Museum’s Wewoka exhibition can explore the people and events
that made Wewoka a microcosm of the western frontier in a wing dedicated to the
community’s history. Designed to imitate
a small main street, the exhibition features a home, school, lawyer’s office
and other local businesses and gives a glimpse into life during the rapid
expansion of the town during the great Oil Boom of the 1920s-30s.

The storied history of the great Wewoka Switch Depot is also
told here, as the raucous days of the Boom secured Wewoka’s place in railroad
legend.
